If it's just rain, usually just EE (it depends on how hard the rain is). However, if there is lightning, all outdoor attractions will go down

if there is lightning i believe its space mountain, splash, big thunder, and basically anything that is exposed ( as in no cover) just to make sure id call and ask or ask any cm hope your trip is magical and word of advice: bring your own umbrellas and ponchos/rain coat that way you wont find yourself wasting touring time on being in line for them or pay a lot

One of the best things we ever did, as far as rain, is buy rainsuits instead of ponchos. You can pick them up at Big Lots or K Mart in most areas. With the ponchos, we still got very wet when it was really raining. With the suits, we stayed totally dry. We have clear ones and a red one. It's easier to keep up with each other this way. They are anywhere from 7.00 to 14.00+. We use ours for Kali River also. The way the hood is made there is a drawstring, so you don't have to hold it on like you have to do with a poncho. I've also seen them in Wal Mart in the sporting goods department and at other sporting goods stores.

Also do realize that while thunderstorms are forecasted frequently in central Florida, if they happen, they don't stick around long. Even if it does storm during your park visits, it likely won't have too bad of an impact on your day, and might even help, by keeping people away from the parks. Have a great trip!

At this time of year it's normal to have one forecast each day. Don't worry!

I fully understand and agree with it but I've always found it slightly ironic that Big Thunder Mountain often closes when it's actually thundering and lightning :lookaroun

Don't fret, there are always forecasted thunder storms on our trips. Usually you get one or two roll in fairly quickly, then back out again. Your trip should be fine!
